It's time. I turned the heat on so it's time for some soup. This will be a great soup for tonight with the cold rain and my busy schedule. I'll have my daughter toss in the pasta about 20 minutes before I get home and we'll come home to a nice big pot of yummy soup all ready for us!!! Definitely a great recipe!
